found. Freight will be kept back
from the United States until foreign
engines can be manned. 1t is reported
that some of the strikers now regard
the movement as a bad blunder, and
the question is beginning to be asked

strike as Chief of the brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers of Mexico, did
not usurp the authority belonging
only to Chief Arthur.

New York, August 1S.-Guzman

is stopping at the Windsor Hotel, said
in an interview to-day: "The bound
ary question between Venezuela and
the colony of Demarara is of the great
est interest to Venezuela and the
United States. l am astonished be
vond measure that the press of Amer
lea has failed to make note of the acts
of Great Britain in her appropriation
of the territory of Venezuela and
south of the Orinoco.
BRITISH ADVANCEMENT.
The English are acquiring tie terri
tory of the OrinOco and the Amazon,
and have actually taken possession of
territory including the Orinoco at its
mouth. This act Venezuela cannot
allow, as it belongs by right to her,
and in consequence OF it has sus-
pended relations with England, given
passports to the English Minister and
representatives and applies to the
United States to act as arbitrator in
behalf of Venezuela.
THEY OBJECT TO ARBITRATION.
The English Government has denied
the right of arbitration in the matter.
Venezuela now proposes to send few
thousand soldiers to drive the English
usurpers from her territory. As re-
suit it is hoped that the United States
Government will intervene to termin-
ate the quarrel and require Great
Britain to submit to arbitration.

Thomas Jefferson's Eulogist.

Mr.. Blaine is in trouble again over a
speech. When he appeared before the
St. Louis Chamber of Commerce the
other day, he pitched upon the late
Thomas Jefferson as tafe topic for a
few remarks, and when he got through.
he probably supposed that he was all
right for once. But the ST. Louis
papers published stenographi; reports
of his speech, and those reports made
the historian speak of Jefferson as
''that great man. who, in the annals of
American greatness. should stand next
to Washington" These reports were
no sooner circulated than good Repub-
lican organs. like the Dayton CO..
Journal, began to make such remarks
as this: Has Mr.. Blaine fcrgotten
Abraham Lincoln in the midst of the
glories of emancipation and the infamy
of the pro-slavery State-rights resolu-
tions of Thomas Jefferson?" OF
course. Mr.. Blaine will explain that il
was all the fault of the stenographer,
and that he really paid hearty tribute
to Lincoln which the shorthand re-
porter unaccountably failed to CATCH

Sneering at the Constitution.

Senator Sherman's speech at the
Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce
shows continued progress in the devel-
opment of the ideas of his recent
letter to the New York Republican
Club. He sneers at the Democratic
party because "it would find some
constitutional difficulty in the way" of
the solution of the problems of Ia
Dor and capital. This slur on con-
stitutionalism is the key to the whole
demagogical policy. But although the
ways of the constitution do not suit
him, he fails to propose any better plan
to meet the demands of the situation
than to denounce Democracy as ''in-
compatible with the progress and with
the development of the country" His
remedy seems to be to throw every
thing into the hands of the Republican
party under the lead of John Sherman,
and to trust to luck and audacity for
the outcome Washington Star.

NEWSPAPER DRIFT,

Hon, W. E. Chandler (perhaps
better known as Old Bill Chandler),
says that the Republicans will study
the situation very carefully before they
commit the party to the chances of
another defeat. When the situation
means choice between Blaine and
Sherman, the demand for careful study
is as evident as the chances for defeat.

The theory of Government work
is that it must be put through by
processes as nearly mechanical as may
be, so that the death of clerk or his
removal will not throw an entire office
out of gear, and so that the dishonesty
of any one servant will be promptly
discovered when the work on which
he practiced it is turned over to a
fellow-servant for the next stage of its
progress. If Senator COckrell and his
committee can find way of simplify
ing the processes necessary to the
proper protection of the Government,
their discovery will be warmly well
comed-by none more than by the
civil servants directly Interested

To limit the operation of the act to a

does not take so low view of his pub

in advance to such an act of injustice.
Indeed, his letter may be construed as
Il promise that when he does act he
will cortrive that the burden and cost
